Transformation: The Crop Circles and The evolution of Consciousness
by Andrew Fowlds
When we read over many articles about crop circles and what their symbolism could mean we are often referred to symbolism in crop circles that describe meanings of ‘spiritual awakening’ and ‘transformation’. As crop circle enthusiasts and firm believers in the phenomenon we often wonder just what exactly do these meanings imply? How do we become “spiritually aware” and or are we already spiritually aware? What exactly does “transformation” mean and what would that imply?
We also hear a lot of coverage on the subject of consciousness and the “raising” of our consciousness in relation to meanings and symbolism described in crop circles. What exactly does this raising of consciousness imply? How do we ‘raise’ our consciousness and what would this mean? Are we ‘raising’ our awareness or consciousness when we study crop circles?
It is the aim of this article with the help of the crop circles to attempt to explain things we can focus on in our pursuit of understanding what exactly is involved in the ‘evolution’ of our consciousness and consequently our ‘transformation’.
“Consciousness” can be divided essentially into 2 parts. There is our personal consciousness – our self awareness, and there is our collective consciousness - our awareness of others. There is of course our ‘unconscious’ mind but it’s the conscious mind I would like to focus on as its here where all of the ‘work’ is done. So, how does our consciousness work? Our consciousness works or functions on energy, that is energy that we see and feel and experience all around us… it can be good, bad or indifferent but it’s all energy. It could be emotional energy that attracts or repulses us, the warm, positive energy of love or the cold, negative energy of fear. It could be psychic energy; it could be energy coming from all different directions, internally and externally, energy emanating from others. We constantly interact with it all of the time. We know the human brain works on bio-electrical impulse; imagine our consciousness permanently feeds off an eternal stream of bio-electrical energy which we can all connect to, which at any time could be positively or negatively charged, according to how we ‘influence’ this energy by interacting with the universe.
The Crop Circles… what is the message?
We of course “know” there is a positive message here. What else can it be? We know we exist in world of fear. There is fear on the collective level. We are feeling desperate. Life is becoming rapidly meaningless if we continue to carry on the way human beings carry on. Humans are isolated, detached, living in fear of one another. We exist in a modern society that makes us feel this way. We have the media, governments and religious organisations that ‘tell’ us what life is all about, that tries to put ‘meaning’ into an otherwise meaningless existence because we know it just doesn’t make any sense. Why is it human beings are sunbathing, relaxing and enjoying themselves at a beach resort on holiday whilst a few hundred miles away there are other ‘human’ beings blowing themselves up on buses full of women and children…. Who are fighting street battles with guns and bombs….screaming how much they hate everyone and everything and how it’s all so unfair. There is a huge, overwhelming sense of ‘out of control’ fear when we consider such atrocities as 9/11…why do we humans have to suffer? Why should we have to ‘emotionally’ put up with this altogether NEGATIVE perception? There is also the other kind of ‘fear’, fear on a personal level… fear of what we apparently ‘know’, our vulnerability, our own mortality … fear of what we DON’T know such as ghosts, the paranormal, the unknown, the unexplained. Who are we? Are we humans alone in our universe?
So, we can now IMAGINE to conclude our ‘consciousness’ is NEGATIVELY charged, both personally and collectively. So how can the crop circles help us?
By nature they are of unknown origin, which for some would trigger fear because we don’t always like learning or discovering something we are not ‘supposed’ to know anything about. We have an overall negative perception of it. We have an overall negative perception of everything we are ‘told’ we are not supposed to know anything about. We have an unnatural, unhealthy fear of the unknown. This of course goes against human nature which is our NATURAL POSITIVE DRIVE to want to explore and to know our universe we exist in.
And so here is where the enigma of the crop circles will begin. Beautiful, mysterious things that appear on our landscape…. We don’t really know where they come from… our curiosity is completely natural; we are intrigued and fascinated by them. What are they? Why are they here? What do they mean? Let’s look at a few we have had to date… we have seen many spiritual, geometric ‘universal’ symbols; from a simple circle (representing the whole) to “Vesica Pisces”, (the whole splits into 2), to simple 3 fold designs etc. We have seen The Star of David, Pentagons and Pentacles, crescent moons, sun and moon formations, triangles, cubes, yin-yang symbols, we have seen spiders web-like designs, we have seen Astrological designs depicting ‘events’ into the future, pictogram types of design with unusual shapes with interesting features, designs that show human DNA, molecular structures, fractal designs describing mathematical formula, tree of life and pyramid designs, spirals, triple spirals…Celtic designs… weaves and knots and more spirals, ‘winged’ formations, mazes, dolphins and formations that appear to indicate an ET presence might be involved.
Is an ET presence at work here? Are all of these designs the work of ET?
Probably the most significant clue we have as to who might be at work behind the ‘genuine’ formations are the formations at Chilbolton (2001) and Crabwood (2002). There has been a lot of controversy over these formations as one can imagine, but as serious crop circle enthusiasts we must consider the possibility these formations are the genuine article and the possibility of ET existence very real. The 2 formations at Chilbolton indicated a ‘message’ in a similar ‘format’ to a message sent out into space by SETI in 1974 and a Human face. The ‘message’ indicated the existence of an ET life form with a breakdown of information about who they were, what they were ‘made’ of (genetic differences etc) and where they came from. The meaning behind the human face may have suggested ‘they’ knew who we were, they knew of ‘our’ existence. The Crabwood formation in 2002 was simply awesome and inspiring. It was a huge portrait of an ET figure holding out a disc with a binary coded message. Was this a communication from ET? What did the message mean….who is ET communicating to….Why ASCII binary code, used as a standard text character conversion code in computers…why of course! It can ONLY mean the INTERNET. Where do we go to find out about the latest crop circles appearing all over the world? Where do we go when we want to communicate about crop circles – chat forums maybe? Do we REALLY know who we are communicating with when we are on the internet? Is ET logging on to the internet? Do we want to believe what the message is saying? As serious crop circle enthusiasts, of course we do. So what the message is saying… what does it mean? I think it’s about communication, and how we communicate as a species… The nature of communication is naturally ambiguous, and ET loves to communicate. ET states they oppose ‘deception’… self-deception perhaps? Who are we? The CCs are awakening us, they help us realise we are not and were never alone in our universe. The universe was always meant to be a wonderful, magical, mysterious place…. We are not meant to know ‘everything’, we are not meant to have all the ‘answers’….. Human beings thousands of years ago looked up to the stars just as we look up to them today….and wonder…..Once upon a time, were all men equal once and did they ‘know’ their place in the universe? Were we once a POSITIVE being, like ET? Could this mean we were once related?
Imagine life is all about perception. Negative people exist in a negative consciousness; positive people exist in a positive consciousness… Here we have perfect duality. As previously discussed, our consciousness is NEGATIVELY charged. This is our pain. Our fear is our pain. Only love can be our cure, only if we find the TRUTH can we truly find love, so what is the truth? Is the truth ET? Imagine can we change the ‘charge’ in our consciousness, can we become positive, therefore can we become like ET?
This, I believe is why the CCs are here… to help humans to evolve by way of evolving our consciousness, the signs, the symbols, the meanings…to help us come to know who we are and not to be afraid to accept, to follow our spirit and synchronicities, to continuously challenge our fears and meet them head on, to come to know our place in the universe, and above all, to have a thoroughly enjoyable time doing so!
